<p>I"m 99% sure it was 1/16. I believe the square was a quarter of the square, which was split into two triangles, (1/8), and then one of those was split into two parts (1/16). They wanted that smallest part IIRC.</p>

122

<p>i put 1/12…</p>

123

<p>It was 1/16…100 % sure</p>

124

<p>NOOOOOOOOO. why didn’t i look at it again?!! i swear i knew it was a quarter when i walked out but i kept telling myself otherwise. ughhh, i feel so annoyed right now. damn you ACT, and your stupid time limitations!!!</p>

125

<p>can a -1 be a 36?</p>

126

<p>Can it? ofcourse. Will it? None of us know.</p>

127

<p>i already have a 2240 so if i don’t make at least a 35 on this test, it was a waste of time. so, every point counts for me… :(</p>

128

<p>^^ i am pretty sure a -1 won’t be a 36, kansas. </p>

<p>but thanks for saying it’s a possibility and making me feel better haha! :)</p>

129

<p>for #60, was there an answer choice that looked like this? it may have been D…</p>

<p>r+s/2sqrt(rs) </p>

<p>or was it just</p>

<p>r+s/sqrt(rs)</p>

130

<p>I thought it was a 1/4 triangle inside a 1/4 square?
Making it 1/8?</p>

<p>The pressure one was the graph in the lower right hand corner. I forgot which letter.</p>

131

<p>r+s/sqrt(rs)</p>

<p>^ i remember that it was the last answer choice.</p>

132

<p>I remember throwing in the #s 2 and 3 and getting the answer. I think it was E? But IDK anymore.</p>

133

<p>

</p>

<p>you need to brush up on area prob before your next test. ;)</p>

<p>it was my first and last, unfortunately. :(</p>

<p>I meant 1/16** hahahahaha
This is the problem?</p>

135

<p>^ lol i was in such a hurry, i barely looked at the figure, but yeah that looks somewhat like it i think. it was definitely 1/16. :(</p>

136

<p>So #3 was something like: I was a 3x4 board and each square foot costs $3. How much does it take to make the game board?</p>

<p>Was it $36? That’s what I put but I also thought it could be $72… if the question was asking for BOTH SIDES. Anyone?</p>

137

<p>the steam one was E i think, because the rate of A was larger than B’s but A still hit a lower point in that graph</p>

138

<p>@ellegee I think you’re just overthinking it. I put $36 as well.</p>

<p>Does the ACT order questions in terms of difficulty? If so, #36 was definitely correct.</p>

139

<p>there was a question about 3 cups on concentrated juce w/ 5 cups of water and if 80 cups or something are needed how many cups of concentrated jjuice is needed? i blanked out and guessed 48…anyone?</p>

140

<p>^48 was correct. U are a hella lucky guesser!</p>
